5 Keto Energy Bombs with Almonds; Recipes for Homemade Bread, Butter, and Flour (Cheap & Healthy)

If you are on a Keto or Low-Carb diet, your biggest longing is probably "bread" and "sweets." Ready-made Keto products in the market usually have two problems: they are either very expensive or full of preservatives.

But don't worry. In this delicious article from Walmond magazine, we want to turn your kitchen into a healthy bakery. Almonds are not just nuts; almonds are the "flour of the Keto world."

Below, you will learn 5 incredibly practical recipes, all prepared using Iranian almonds. They not only keep your diet intact but also help burn more fat according to the mechanisms we mentioned in the article [The Secret to Slimming with Almonds].

1. Homemade Almond Butter (The Healthy Rival to Nutella)

Commercial almond butter usually contains sugar, palm oil, and third-grade almonds. You can make a healthy, pure version for half the cost.

• Ingredients: 400g Walmond Stone Almonds (kernels), a pinch of sea salt.
• Instructions:
  1. Roast the almonds for 10 minutes in the oven or a pan (roasting helps release almond oil faster).
  2. Pour them into a food processor.
  3. Wait! First, it turns into powder, then a stiff paste, and after about 10 to 15 minutes of continuous mixing, it suddenly releases oil and becomes smooth.
  4. Pour into a jar and enjoy. (Shelf life: 1 month in the refrigerator).

Economy Tip: To make butter, you don't need to buy luxury, expensive almonds. Stone Almonds (Sangi) are the best option due to their high fat content and affordable price.

2. 90-Second Keto Bread (The Miracle of Almond Flour)

Craving a sandwich? This bread is ready in less than 2 minutes and has less than 3 grams of carbs.

• Ingredients: 3 tbsp almond flour, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt and olive oil.
• Instructions:
  1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl (that is shaped like a bun).
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave for 90 seconds.
  3. The bread puffs up and is ready! Slice it and eat with cheese and walnuts.

3. DIY Almond Flour (Don't Buy, Make It!)

Ready-made almond flour in stores is very expensive, and because it is powdered, it oxidizes quickly (becomes bitter). Instructions:

1. Pour Walmond Raw Almonds into boiling water and peel them (the Blanching method we taught in the article [Best Ways to Consume Almonds]).
2. Let the almonds dry completely (a full day).
3. Grind them in a grinder with short pulses (1 second on, 1 second off).
   • Warning: If you grind too much, it turns into almond butter!

4. Pre-Workout Energy Balls

A No-Bake snack that fuels your energy for bodybuilding workouts.

• Ingredients: 1 cup chopped almonds, 1/2 cup coconut powder, 2 tbsp almond butter (that you made yourself), a little Stevia sweetener (or 1 date).
• Instructions: Mix all ingredients until a dough forms. Shape them into small balls and put them in the fridge. Whenever you feel weak, one of these balls will save you.

5. Thick Barista-Style Almond Milk

Packaged plant-based milks are usually 98% water and additives. Experience real almond milk at home.

• Ingredients: 1 cup raw almonds, 4 cups water.
• Instructions:
  1. Soak almonds for 24 hours.
  2. Peel them (optional, for a whiter color).
  3. Pour into a blender with water and mix thoroughly.
  4. Pass through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to get a smooth liquid.
  • Golden Tip: Don't throw away the pulp! Dry it to turn it into "Almond Flour" (killing two birds with one stone).

Conclusion

Dieting doesn't mean deprivation; it means smart choices. With a bag of high-quality almonds at home, you have milk, butter, flour, and snacks all at once.

The quality of the almond you use directly affects the taste of your butter and almond milk. Stale or bitter almonds will waste all your cooking efforts.
